Garage doors and their openers have gotten a technology upgrade. No longer do you have to get out of the car or even push a button to open your garage door. Like many cutting edge products, a smart garage door controller is an add-on that works with your existing door opener. Using a high tech garage door opener, you can control the door from anywhere through an app on your smartphone, tablet, or even computer.
Most homes today have a keychain remote, which is common and convenient. This small remote device that fits easily on a keychain activates your garage door from your car or from inside the house. Many homeowners are integrating Wi-Fi or Bluetooth smart garage door openers for easier access. These can be controlled via a smartphone or tablet with a touch on the screen. To make this feature more exciting, you don’t even have to be within a certain radius of your home to use it. You can check the status of your garage door while you’re at work!
Garage Door Opener Features
Garage door openers have many features that can meet your needs. Some of these features – easy access, code operation, battery backup – are essential and included in most high tech garage door openers.
- Remotes: Convenience is essential when it comes to the garage door opener. Smart opener garage door systems allow opening and closing garage doors from inside the house, while handheld remotes can activate the opener outside.
- Manual release: Sometimes, you need to raise or lower the door manually. Many models of openers feature a manual release to disengage the door from its electric mechanisms to make lifting easier. This can usually be done through the keypad.
- Rail segments: Most garage doors include rail segments that fit doors within seven feet. They are more expensive, but they last for quite a few years as long as they’re handled correctly. They offer high horsepower and an extensive warranty.
- Home automation system: This feature is a good reason to choose garage door smart solutions for your home. The power of the voice is the king – it allows the homeowner to control a multitude of prompts by merely voicing the request.
- Wi-Fi integration: Newer opening systems have the ability to connect to your home’s Wi-Fi. This makes it easy to control your door with a touch from any smartphone or tablet. Smart garage door openers also give the homeowner the ability to monitor their entry from an app anywhere.
- Security light: It’s good to have light as you walk or drive through your garage door. Many security lights will power on automatically when the door is activated. This makes it easier to pull in and out of the garage after dark.
Wi-Fi enabled garage door openers offer built-in connectivity for easier access. Not to mention security codes. Replacing the old one can open the benefits of using your iPhone or Android to operate your garage door. Many feature open and close history, video streaming and security, notifications, and even Bluetooth enabled.
All of these options make life much easier for homeowners. But if you decide to install a smart garage door system, you need a reliable companion. STI Garage Door can be that friend for you. We provide all types of smart garage door opener service and look for an individual solution for each customer.
A new custom garage door can add so many benefits to your home. It can improve energy efficiency, enhance the look of your home’s exterior, and add a much higher level of security.
This last point is even more vital for your business since a secure garage door can be the difference between being safe and unsafe. New garage doors can aid in keeping the bad guys out and helping to limit the spread of fire.

Scheduling regular maintenance with STI Garage Door at least once per year, especially before cold weather hits, means you will not be surprised by an inoperative garage door at an inconvenient time.
Perhaps the hardest working part of your automatic garage door system is your springs. This is also the part that can be the most dangerous for garage door owners to try and repair damage to themselves due to the very high tension on these springs.
Let the well-trained professionals at STI Garage Door handle this complex job to save you time and maintain a safe and reliable garage door system.
An attached garage can be a great convenience in harsh weather conditions, but what good is that convenience if you are letting that extreme weather and temperatures into your home or business every time you use your garage?
Let the experts at STI Garage Door help show you ways to insulate your garage to help regulate the potentially harsh climate in it.
There is certainly not much value in having an automatic garage door system if practically anyone can open the door. That is why STI Garage Door can show you the benefits of the latest high-tech garage door opening system.
